Overview

Global analysis explores viral diversity and transmission risk among urban mammals, highlighting implications for zoonotic disease spread.

Key Points

  • Assess the viral diversity and cross-species transmission risk among urban-adapted mammals globally.
  • Integrated analysis of viruses associated with 7 urban-adapted mammal species.
  • Analysis of viral exposure differences among species in urban versus natural environments.
  • Phylogenetic analysis and virus-sharing network study.
  • Found 286 virus species linked to hosts, with 98 reported in humans and 14 classified by WHO.
  • Identified significant differences in viral profiles among different hosts.
  • Suggested livestock may act as a bridge in cross-species virus transmission.
